SkyCode Horoscopes for February 26-March 4, 2018

Horoscopes to unlock the stars, not to be locked down by them.

“What if we’re wrong?”

If you’ve read my website bio or have followed me on social media for any length of time, then you probably know I was a teenage preacher. My best friend during my teen years wasn’t exactly a Bible-toting, spouting Christian like me. He was more inclined toward wooing girls, fighting other boys, and skipping class. You know, like a regular teenager. But we were an odd couple.

Occasionally, I would successfully wrangle him into “preaching the word” with me by going door-to-door in our neighborhood. He wisely let me do the talking and tagged along more for moral support and lack of anything better to do. Yes, he was an exceptional friend.

After an afternoon of listening to me talk about the return of Jesus and people going to hell, we walked quietly back toward my house to veg out with some music videos as we often did. (See, I was kind of regular teen!) He suddenly asked, “But what if we’re wrong, Sam?” “Wrong about what?” I said. “Wrong about everything. The Gospel. Jesus. Any of it!” With the same certainty I had preached for most of the afternoon, I said, “Of course, we’re not wrong! The Bible tells us so.”

Yet, that question haunted me. I can still hear it, in my friend’s voice, to this day, 36 years later. As we approach an analytical Virgo full moon on Thursday and the confident Sun prepares to join up with soulful Neptune by conjunction on Sunday, I’m reminded of that question, “What if we’re wrong?”

“Yes, what if we’re wrong?”

I’ve never again had that level of faith and certainty about any belief system. And I’m grateful for that. I have no absolute dogmas anymore. But we also don’t have to be crippled by a paralysis of analysis either. Or locked into an ever crouched skepticism about everything. There is a way we can hold space for our convictions, faiths or informed opinions and humbly accept the possibility that we can be wrong. Another friend, years later, once cavalierly said, “People want to be right, more than they want to be loved.” I have often found this true. We can hold love in our hearts while walking along the tight rope of right and wrong.

It’s the belief that we can’t fall that often leads us to fall. It’s often the grace of the Fates, God, or chance (take your pick) that we’re able to do ALL that we can do. Perhaps we’re inclined to give ourselves too much credit and not give anything else or others their due. Regardless, the moment you can’t even see the possibility you can be wrong, then you’re in a Sun-Neptune fog. It doesn’t matter if you’re the one saying “Delete Yo’ Zodiac” or “Cancel The Guy Who Said That. Forever!” (My only “inside joke” here.)

Two wrongs still don’t make a right. And neither can you be so right that you can’t do any wrong. Being wrong means that you have room for improvement. Yay! That’s the best part of being a loving, human being. That doesn’t mean love can’t be firm. But it certainly can’t be rigidly right that it can never be wrong.

How to read and use these affirmations

You could choose to read these only for “your sign.” Perhaps that might be your Sun, Moon, or ascendant sign, if you’re familiar with those terms and your chart. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend that, though.

I would skim through them all and see which affirmation affirms your life this week:

Pay careful attention to the affirmation(s) that you resist. You probably need to meditate on and say those aloud often.

These affirmations are written for this week, but many of them might speak to you for longer, even a lifetime.

You might not know at the top of the week what you need to affirm. But you might have a sense from the previous week, from a dream or something that happens right on Monday morning. You can also visit this page later in the week to see what resonates. You might also discover I write more for another planet or sign in your chart. I talk more about this here.

My desire is to prompt you to read more for your whole chart, not just what you know or understand your birth chart to be. It’s also possible that none of what I write here speaks to you, and that’s okay. The goal is to open and to explore. That’s the only way we ever truly know anything.
